Newspaper Chief Offers Hard Medicine To NAA Attendees

  • April 4, 2006
Jay R. Smith, president of Cox Newspapers, offered a dose of hard medicine to an audience of newspaper execs and other industry insiders on Monday during the opening day of the Newspaper Association of America's annual meeting in Chicago, saying they need to "stop whining" and reform the business. Echoing Smith's call to action, media execs at the NAA meeting later cited the difficulty of integrated print and online ad buys as a likely area for reform if newspapers are to stay competitive.
